That’s 1 way to break up the Conference, but big *TV $ wants more stability

and continuity of scheduling before they are going to put out the bigger bucks. The ACC as we know it is on life support, because schools are going to take $100M-$140M in another Conference, instead of $50M in the ACC. If the blue bloods of the B1G turn down this amount of money, they will likely form something with the blue bloods of the SEC and a handful of ACC and B12 schools for even more money. I don’t like it, but there really isn’t a realistic alternative to get them even more money. When Nick Saban said 32 (same as the NFL 🤔) on Gameday at the top, seems he knew something IMHO. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s see if they turn it down, maybe they are just trying to get more money at the top of the conference for more eyeballs. Ratings over Rankings, Unprofessional Wrestling may be taking over more of College Football, too bad!! 🤮 ** Edited by Stech at 10/15/2025, 10:13:47 AM

B1G blue bloods might vote down $135M lump sum, could P1 give them more?

Feels like FSU, Clemson and UNC not voting for expansion, Saban’s P1 maybe?**

Those schools do not need an injection of cash. I will

Point of clarification, I don't think this is an annual payment.

Okay, if true that would make a huge difference, so that get this lump sum

I would assume for 2.4B, they want 10% of Rev, not Profit.**

Not sure, huge difference though!**

If blue bloods turn it down, it will say they believe they'll make more $$

Sounds to me like this could result in multiple standalone leagues...
